Cher ADMIN,
Bonjour! What a fancy meeting you here. My name is Kenzie, but the life I wish to lead would have to be Charlotte Abercrombie. Seriously, she is the coolest. And it just so happens that I have twenty-one years on the wall of my life. I know. How cool. And what a coincidence, that you can contact me through email or PM. Well, au revoir.

personality;;
Spirited and vivacious, Char has always stood up for what she believed in, and especially for her friends. She’s extremely outgoing, and would never stand by if she thought someone she cared about needed her help, instead diving right in to help them regardless of whether or not they may want her to. She’s somewhat meddlesome, and sometimes interferes in things that may better be left alone. Strong-willed to the point of stubbornness, once Char gets an idea into her head, it’s very difficult to change her mind. She doesn’t like to admit when she’s wrong, and has trouble apologizing even when she is.
Driven to prove herself, Char is an ambitious individual. She hates it when people assume that because she’s a girl she's good for nothing but child-bearing, and has always felt the need to prove those people wrong. Still, she isn't one to boast about her accomplishments, since doing so only made her mother angry with her in the past. She thought that she could prove to her mother that she was just as capable as her brother by being the best, but the more she tried to impress her mother, the more she was berated for not behaving like a proper lady. Even so, she refused to give up, and still insists on working to get what she wants instead of waiting for someone else to give it to her.
Kind and compassionate with a righteous sense of justice, Char can't stand people being intolerant or rude to others, and she's bold enough to stick up for other people when she sees them in trouble. She’s a very emotional person, reacting strongly to things and unable to keep her emotions to herself, Char makes for a very bad liar. When she gets excited, everyone knows it, and it’s not hard to tell when something’s bothering her. She’s always been terrible at poker, and she can’t hide absolutely anything from her close friends, so Char tends to stick with telling the truth.

history;;
The firstborn child of Camden and Camellia Abercrombie, it quickly became apparent that Charlotte was not the child either of them had wanted. Married out of obligation to their families rather than love, both had been hoping for a boy, someone who would be able to carry on the family name. They loved Charlotte, but she was always treated as a burden rather than a blessing.
Camden left the home life to Camellia, burying himself in work and advancing his career, spending as little time with his family as possible. Camellia never had any aspirations for her daughter other than marrying her off to a suitable pureblood family, and to that end she raised her to be a good, well-behaved young lady. Once her brother was born, her mother didn't care to pay attention to her, unless it was to berate her for something she hadn't done quite right. Casey was the heir they'd always wanted, and her mother put all her attention into his upbringing, giving him the praise and adulation Charlotte so desired. Charlotte, on the other hand, could never do anything well enough for her mother; no metter how hard she tried, she was never quite good enough. She never stopped trying to win her approval, though, always hoping that eventually she could make her mother proud of her.
It might've been easy to resent Casey for receiving all their parents' love; it might've been easy to blame him for things that couldn't possibly be his fault. But Casey was the only one in the house who didn't treat Charlotte like she was an unnecessary burden, despite the enjoyment he derived from irritating her. He always seemed to be able to tell just when Charlotte was about to break under the strain of their mother's expectations, and he did little things to make her feel better. While he probably doesn't know it, he was probably the only thing that kept her from going over the deep end when she was younger. He kept her from becoming bitter and hopeless about her situation, even if he did drive her crazy in his own way sometimes.
It was a relief to go to Hogwarts, and get away from her mother's constant criticism. She arrived with something to prove, not just to her mother anymore, but to everyone who expected Charlotte to be just another wealthy heiress. She worked hard to do well in her classes, and while she was never the smartest or the most talented, she did well, and earned the respect of her teachers. In her third year, she decided to give quidditch a try, despite the fact that it wasn't a 'ladylike' pastime. She loved it, and while her mother made it clear that she didn't approve, for the first time, Charlotte found she didn't care.
That was the first time Charlotte openly rebelled against what her parents' wanted, and it wouldn't be the last time. She continued playing quidditch through her school years, and even made Captain of her team in her seventh year. She and her mother fought almost every time they saw each other, about everything from what kind of clothes Charlotte wore to her desire to become a healer, which apparently wasn't an appropriate career for a respectable young lady.
After Charlotte graduated, her mother announced that they were working on arranging a marriage for her; and Charlotte abruptly refused. That was the last major falling out the two would have. Camellia disowned Charlotte when she refused even the prospect of an arranged marriage, throwing her out of the house. Before the two had a chance to make amends, Camellia passed away, and Charlotte has always regretted not making things right before her mother died.
I'LL NEVER HEAR A WORD YOU SAY
roleplay sample;
Aurora would be the first to admit that the Hogs Head wasn't really her ideal hang-out, but when it came to meetings with Sirius, it was a tricky game. She knew why they couldn't go anywhere with Death Eaters, but they also couldn't go anywhere Sirius' friends might recognize him, in case they wondered about her. She didn't see the point in that, even if he did want to keep her a secret; he was so often drenched in the scents of other women, Aurora was quite certain no one would be surprised to see him with yet another beautiful companion. But it was his decision, maybe his friends were more perceptive than she gave them credit for.
That didn't leave them with very many places to meet, short of entering the muggle world, and hence they were at the Hogs Head, a place neither of them liked very much. She'd often wondered why she bothered going to so much trouble for her friendship with Sirius. He was so obviously uncomfortable with what she was, and that was something she could never change. Yet at the same time, whenever she considered her life without him, she found it quite unpalatable. So while she delayed, toying with the idea of standing him up and letting him wait for her all night, she never went through with it. She just always turned up late instead, almost a passive punishment for being ashamed of her. Almost.
She'd changed her outfit about a hundred times, debated over which shoes to wear, twisted her hair up into various styles before she finally left the house, already late. She'd finally settled on a tight, strapless dress, all in black, with a pair of strappy stilettos and a pale blue denim jacket, her hair tousled and messy from being played with too much. She pushed open the door to the bar and glanced around, ignoring the stench of some of the other patrons, her eyes landing on Sirius easily. He stood out, although she wasn't sure if that wasn't just her; she was fairly certain she was causing more of a stir than he was, exposed skin and platinum hair stark against the backdrop of dark cloaks and shifty eyes.
She ignored the attention, instead making her way to the bar and sliding onto the stool next to Sirius. Propping an elbow on the bar, she leaned against it and smiled at him. "Hey, handsome. Buy a lady a drink?" She didn't apologize for being late; she never did. He knew better than to expect it by now.
